Hi, I'm new to the Forum, but not new to nitro, although I'm likely a novice compared to some So, I've literally just an hour or so ago bought a Savage XL SS 4.6 second hand, a picture is somewhere, and everything "seemed" alright, electronics worked, engine turned over etc.
When I'd bought it and got it home, I checked it over, screws all mismatched, missing O Rings, the flywheel isn't the right one, the clutch bell had no give against the spur gear, the air filter, and you'll laugh at this, was nothing more than sponge attached to the HPI air filter housing and screws had lost their thread and we're almost impossible to removes, thank god for needle nosed pliers! Unfortunately, the wheel nuts have got the better of me for today, so WD-40 will be needed tomorrow
Anyway, up to now I've removed the engine, I imagine I will have to disassemble the clutch and check on that, and tried to clean bits of the chassis up, I'm figured I'm going to spend more tidying this up than it would have cost to buy the kit new ahah Literally any pointers or guidance would be good, I've only ever ran a Trophy Truggy and Firestorm that I took care of haha
Regards
